Oh, my. Yours even?? Now I kind of want to read it but don't know if I'd be able to handle it. Keep me posted! But I'm sure you'll at least attempt to review it when it's over.
it's very...um...philosophical or something. talking about what natural means vs. supernatural, and why believing only in the natural doesn't make sense and how evolution can't possibly have made us able to reason and all that kind of stuff. it's tricky reading.
It sounds wonderful. :)
"The description we have to give of thought as an evolutionary phenomenon always makes a tacit exception in favour of the thinking which we ourselves perform at that moment. For the one can only, like any other particular feat, exhibit, at particular moments in particular consciousnesses, the general and for the most part non-rational working of the whole inter-locked system. The other, our present act, claims and must claim, to be an act of insight, a knowledge sufficiently free from non-rational causation to be determined (positively) only by the truth it knows."
